by the way don't count on me to provide wekend excitement! I'm only seeing wiq on sunday eve but won't have computer access, so if tere was anything to say, I can only do so on Monday (it's not likely as very brief meeting).
I'm glad sleepless is providing enough developments to cover all of us!

I wish I did have household stAff!Grin oh, how i wish it now.

AllotmentFreak · 20/04/2012 18:31

Marks place for Monday's update Grin

I'm well into DIY/house renovation etc, if there's anything you need to know just ask.

hi Allotment! thought you were into gardening more Grin!
Do you know where to get brackets for blinds (guys who packed put htem separate fron the blind and it's impossible to find). Also how best to disguise the holes/screws that were left by previous people and they look dreadful next to smaller pictures (diy guy suggested sealing painting but how the hell can i find the exact colour match for paint). Anyway let's keep it to one post for now as it's v.boring for others to read.

Gay40 · 20/04/2012 18:47

I'm not her boss but I am her superior. She has a partner too (not my problem) - I kept it to "I do not want to hear it or feel uncomfortable in any way in the future."

likeatonneofbricks · 20/04/2012 19:14

yes, the point is she is not your boss/superior, thankfully. If she doesn't want to lose her job she should listen up. Do you mean male partner? doesn't matter but purely for info.

AllotmentFreak · 20/04/2012 19:31

Ok 1 DIY post for likea...

Allotment username is a misnomer Grin although some years ago it was true, I do know a little about gardening.

Anyway.... try the blind manufacturer via google for your blind brackets or ebay.

Pollyfilla the holes in the wall, sandpaper over when dry. Either take a scrape of paint off the wall with you to the shop to get a match (match pots) or emulsion the whole wall/room in a similar or different colour, it might well be cheaper especially if you can do another room with the same paint.

PM me if you get stuck with anything else.

Gay40 · 20/04/2012 19:42

Yes @ male partner.

Gay, re. the chancer, does she have more general doubts about her sexuality and is directing it towards you, or is she simply smitten with you d'you think?

pollyblue · 20/04/2012 20:09

Blimey Likea it sounds like you need a pot of strong restorative lesbian tea. I'll put the kettle on.

Yes tonight I will be putting my foot down with a firm hand at approximately oh, 9.15-ish (!) with The Bolter. If I've not heard from her by then, I'll be emailing her. She's not the only one who can do chilly Grin

AllotmentFreak · 20/04/2012 20:11

Emphasise the fact you have booked a baby sitter hopefully that will make her pay attention. :)

pollyblue · 20/04/2012 20:13

Yes I will do that.

Gay40 · 20/04/2012 20:14

Just a crush as a one-off, apparently. DNG.

Evening all, just caught up with this thread. Seems like lots going on for people. Gay40 what an awkward situation to be in. I'd be annoyed too I think. Sounds like you've made yourself very clear so hopefully that will be the end of it.

Likea and polly good luck for the weekend to both of you.

Sleep I don't want to be negative or critical, I just wanted to say be careful - it seeme like you've both formed an intense attachment very quickly. The couple of times that has happened to me in relationships it hasn't turned out so well... I know it is great you can connect with someone so well, and goodness knows I have longed for a real, deep connection with someone, but it just seems a bit worrying how fast it has all happened. Anyway, not trying to lecture or piss on your bonfire as the charming saying has it.

pollyblue · 20/04/2012 20:21

Hi synch

I've just emailed The Bolter (i have no restraint) so let's see what happens now...

Synchronicity · 20/04/2012 20:25

Sigh. I do wish my DDDDDNG crush was not so emphatically DDDDDNG.

Synchronicity · 20/04/2012 20:25

Polly good luck, hope she responds quickly.

Synchronicity · 20/04/2012 20:26

Am off to raid the DC's easter eggs and cheer myself up!

onanightlikethis · 20/04/2012 20:40

Catching up after lurking a while... Sleepless- take it steady... What will dp say about camping? Maybe shes DNG ..but perhaps wants to get back at ur dp somehow? ((thinking of u)))
Gay- how horrid dealing with the chancer. How old is she?
Polly- fingers crossed she responds soon. How o u know each other?
Likea- sounds like u have ur hands full!
Hello everyone else
There's something about me at the moment- I'm looking at women thinking are they, have they, would they.......:)
